- To proclaim Yeshua (Jesus Christ) as Messiah and coming King
of the entire universe.
- To teach the WHOLE BIBLE, including the Torah, Prophets, Writings
and New Covenant.
- To call all people to repentance from sin and to walk uprightly
before the L-rd.
- To explore our Hebrew roots and heritage.
- To encourage Believers to follow Yeshua's example in faith
and practice, and to learn how to live a Torah observant lifestyle
led by the Holy Spirit.
1. We believe that the Bible,
both the Tanakh (Old Covenant) and the Brit Hadasha (New Covenant),
is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of YHVH
(1
Thess. 2:13; 2
Tim 3:16; 2
Peter 1:21).
2. We believe in ONE G-D
as He has revealed Himself in the Holy Scriptures (Deut.
6:4;
Mark 12:29).
3. We believe that Yeshua
is the Son of YHVH; the Messiah; the Eternal One in whom all the
fullness of deity dwells in bodily form; the Word who became flesh
and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the
uniquely begotten Son of YHVH, full of grace and truth (John
1:1-14; Col.
2:9).
4. We believe in the deity
of Yeshua and His virgin birth (Isa.
9:6; Isa.
7:14;
Matt. 1:18-25), in His vicarious and atoning death through
His shed blood (Isa.
53;
Dan. 9:24-27;
Rom. 3:21-31;
Heb. 9, 10),
in His bodily resurrection (Zech.
12:10, Zech.
14;
Matt. 28), and in His personal return in power and glory (Dan.
7:9-14;
Matt. 26:57-64;
Rev. 1:1-18). We believe that Yeshua is the Way, the Truth,
and the Life; and that no one comes to the Father except through
Him (John
14:6, John
6:29, John
40, John
44;
1 John 5:11).
5. Man is a created being
made in the likeness and image of YHVH, but through Adam’s transgression
and fall sin came into the world for “all have sinned and come
short of the glory of YHVH.” As it is written, “There is none
righteous, no, not one.” Yeshua, the Messiah and the Son of YHVH,
was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life
and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to YHVH (Rom.
3:10 & 23,
5:14;
1 John 3:8). Salvation is a gift of YHVH to man, separate
from works and the Torah, and is made operative by grace through
faith in Yeshua producing works acceptable to YHVH. One may not
earn, merit or keep this eternal salvation by his own efforts.
A new creation is the work of YHVH alone (Eph.
2:8-9;
Rom. 5; Rom.
6).
6. We believe that the Torah
(the five books of Moses) is a comprehensive summary of YHVH’s
foundational teachings and instructions as found in both the new
and older covenants (Ex.
19 & 20;
Deut. 5;
Jer. 31:31-34;
Matt. 5:17-19;
Heb. 8:10). Therefore, we encourage all believers, both Jew
and non-Jew, to affirm, embrace, and practice these foundational
laws and ways as clarified through the life of Messiah Yeshua
(Matt.
5:17-19;
1 Cor. 7:19;
Rev. 14:12).
7. The Bible teaches that
without holiness no man can see YHVH. We believe in the doctrine
of sanctification as a definite, yet progressive, work of grace
commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the
consummation of salvation (1
Thess. 5:23;
2 Pet. 3:18;
Heb. 12:14).
8. The baptism with the Holy
Spirit and fire is a gift from YHVH promised by Yeshua to all
believers and is received subsequent to the new birth (Matt.
3:11;
John 14:16-17;
Acts 2:38-39). We believe in the operation of and embrace
all the gifts of the Holy Spirit as enumerated in YHVH’s Word.
The gift of tongues is one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit
(Acts
19:1-7;
1 Cor. 12:1-11).
9. We believe that Jewish
and non-Jewish people who trust in Yeshua are grafted into the
olive tree of Israel which grants them the privilege of following
the Torah (YHVH’s teachings and instructions) having written it
upon their hearts as participants of the New Covenant. Thus, all
Israel will be saved (Jer.
31:31-34;
Rom. 11:11-26).
10. We believe in the resurrection
of both the wicked and the righteous. Those who have trusted in
Yeshua will be resurrected unto life and those who die without
having believed in Yeshua will experience the eternal wrath of
YHVH (John
5:19-29;
Rom. 1:18;
1 Cor. 15;
Rev. 20; Rev.
21).
